It will be interesting to see how Kerry approach this game win a top of the table position in the bag.
Kerry on 10 points, Cork on 7, Mayo, Down and Dublin on 6 points. Armagh on 5 points can still make the last four if Kerry and Cork win their last game.

I dont know are Mayo that good, or were Dublin just very poor and having a bad day last night? Although Mayo came within a point of beating Cork also so maybe we are in for a tough game next Sunday!!

We should also remember that Dublin were on route to an easy win over Mayo a couple of weeks ago before the fog saved Mayo!! I think it's just a continuation of the irregular results in the league. Home advantage can play a big part in things. Great advantage to have game in Kerry; Mayo on there day can turnover any team....especially if the game isn't in Croke Park! Take them seriously, put out as strong a side as possible and go all out for the win. Continue the winning run before semi-final.

The Gooch will be back for Sunday.
Hope he sticks with Curtin in the other corner and Declan in FF.

Why would he drop Brosnan at this stage? And why Donaghy at 11?

You're not far off there I reckon. I'd imagine the four you mention may be rested. Curtin might be benched to give O'Leary a go, given that O'Leary has only played in the Laois game. Is Moloney any way close to a starting place? Is there a chance he'd be given a go at full back in a nothing-to-lose fixture like this? Where is Donncha Walsh? Is he injured and if so what is his injury? I see you picked Tom Sullivan ? Is there something we should know?

I would imagine O'Mahoney is gonna be the man for expieremental no.3 for the rest of the league,Which probably rules out Maloney,I'm hoping Tom Sull comes back this week and maybe having one last cut at it with his good friend along side him might encourage him.Donnacha is back playing with Cromane so i would expect him in training from this week on..

Ok lets nip this one in the bud. If Tom O Sullivan does say to Jack this week that he's back, he has 0% chance of starting against Mayo; doesn't matter your service to the jersey, there are guys busting their balls for the past 3 months to get game time, Tom isn't picking up that jersey with a couple of days training done.
Gooch is a different story considering his involvement with Crokes + he has actually been carrying an injury and put off surgery because of Crokes run, so a prolonged rest for him is very much understandable.

I dont think Tom Sullivan is the type to coat-tail a potential National League title at this stage, having said that I expect to see him back in the fold sooner rather than later. Big game for kerry at the weekend to lay down a marker against a Mayo team flying high after last weekend. Kerry to seriously look for the win at the weekend.

i would still give the Gooch a break in fact i would leave him till the championship he needs along break kilkenny do the same with Shefflian and get the result later on in the championship.
a league title is not to turn your nose at but i rather rest the Gooch for the championship and give Curtin or O'Leary a run for the rest of the league.

Lyne 6 Brosnan 7 Crowley 8 Scanlon 9 Sheehan 10 Galvin 11 Darren O'Sullivan 12 BJ Keane 13 Cooper 14 D O'Sullivan 15 Curtin 7 Agree with this team except O'Leary instead of Gooch. No point bringing Gooch in at this stage. If we qualify for the league final then it may be worth having him as a sub. Let the team breathe without him for a while and it might continue the progress and confidence of lads in stepping up in the scoring department ala Keane and and Curtin have done.

Gooch has had a good lay off and needs to get some football under his belt. I don't care how good he is.
And I think Scanlon has been ruled out for Sunday's game because of an ankle injury he picked up with Currow, so that leaves Jack to consider leaving bothe Maher and Sheehan on or replace one of them with Buckley. Will he give up Sheehan's kicking? I'm not so sure.

Some very good points are being made in relation to the Gooch. Neither Colm or Tom need to play a role in the conclusion of the league to play leading roles later in the season. Salutary thoughts from Tony Brownes experience of preparation to prolong the playing life span are worth consideration.

He played no hurling (a game that requires a lot more practice in terms of touch etc) for 7 to 8 months and he retured to championship seemlessly and even managed an All star for his troubles. Gooch has been on the go for the best part of 2 and a half years with Crokes & Kerry so he just needs a longer break to purly re-charge. His sharpeness will be maintained playing with Crokes

One good reason to play Gooch is to see how he fares in the same full forward line as Declan and Pa Curtin. Better to see how this combination gels now rather than Summer.

If Curtain is a possible starter then he HAS TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH Gooch, cos lets face it Gooch is a vocal point of the attack. Also, Star's been used to knocking the ball down to Gooch, if he is to play WF, then Star has to now get used to kicking the ball in to Gooch. We know Gooch, Tomas, Declan etc could walk onto the Kerry team and do a job, but those around them have to be given the oppertunity to get used to playing alongside them.

And I'd like to see how he does with Curtin and Declan in the FF.

And I'd like to see how he does with Curtin and Declan in the FF. And hopefully we'll have the pleasure of watching him play well into his 30's with Kerry - fail to prepare and all that................ Are we not forgetting that Colm and Declan played on the full forward line in 2009? Paddy Curtain looks game ball enough to learn very quickly. On an aside, Colm has played a world of football at this stage in his career, both with club and county - it would be wise to take a much longer term view of his future potential contribution to Kerry football. Although I would imagine he eager to get back into the team sooner rather than later. Colm O'Rourke commented one time about protecting young players from themselves to the amusement of Shane O'Rourke as he first broke into the Meath senior team as an underage player. Shane will have spent 2-3 of the last seasons looking in from the outside due to injury problems.

Thats fair enough, but I think the best judge will be Colm himself, and of course the management team.

I've seen lads become very washed up approaching 30 after playing a world of football, if you read Tony Brownes article you'll see he spoke with his father about calling it a day at 31 due to the demands of the game. He subsequently approached the game in a different way. Just something to think about in relation to the management of players.
